Books

This is your one-stop information stop for where I’ve been published.  I’ve got links and info on the anthologies featuring my short stories, in addition to information about my current projects.  Stay tuned – hopefully I’ll have to update often!

The Lokana Chronicles

TPMTLCAs the Crown Prince of Lokana, nineteen-year-old Vatren is expected to follow in his father’s corrupt footsteps by marrying a wealthy noblewoman and filling the royal coffers to the brim.  But the prince has other ideas, and when he falls in love with a peasant named Namora, his father threatens to deny him the crown and live forever.  Though Vatren knows his father is serious, he insists that he will marry for love or not at all.

But there are bigger problems facing the kingdom than succession.

When the king executes an entire village, a long-simmering rebellion threatens to explode into all-out war.  Led by Namora’s brother, Lokana’s malcontents want revenge on the royal family, and they don’t care which member pays the price.  Vatren must find a way to protect his family and atone for his father’s actions, or he could lose everything he’s ever cared about…forever.

The first book in the series, The Price of Mercy, is currently being rewritten and will hopefully be available in fine bookstores everywhere in the near future.

A Song for All Seasons

ASFAS-EcoverNatural poetry at its finest, plus a few musings on life, love, and everything in between.

In addition to intimate portraits of family life, A Song for All Seasons paints vivid pictures of the Iowa landscape in all its glory.  From frost-covered windowpanes and snowy vistas to rolling green fields and bright blue skies, each poem is a peek into a fading world of untamed beauty.

Tuesday Daydreams

TD-SWNatural poetry at its finest.

Capturing the life and imagination of the author in vivid detail, these poems touch on joy and loss, life’s everyday hassles, and the many faces of Mother Nature.

Strange Portals

spJust in time for a much needed holiday break, twenty-two stories about fairies, vampires, werewolves, zombies, and everything in between. Visit a witch’s body swap victims (Samantha’s Day), find what happens when a girl is buried alive (Buried Alive), learn the origin story of Harper (from Night Touched Chronicles) and Verchiel (from the Amaranthine series), and much, much more. So kick up your feet, relax, and indulge in a short story by a new favorite author.

Includes stories by AK Stein, Adan Ramie, B.G. Hope, Barbara G. Tarn, Bonnie Mutchler, CG Copolla, DM Yates, JK Rosaline, Joleene Naylor, Kay Kauffman, Maegan Provan, Rami Ungar, Roger Lawrence, Roxanna Mathews, Russ Towne, Terry Compton and Tricia Drammeh.

A World of Their Own

AWB-AWOTOThe first anthology from the irresistible Alliance of Worldbuilders is chock full of fantastic new world and fabulous new characters.  All proceeds will be donated to the World Literacy Fund in honor of our fallen comrade, Lindsey J. Parsons.  You won’t want to miss it!

 416

Edited by Adam Sifre, 416 is a collection of horror-themed short stories.

Stephen King takes 1,200 pages to tell a story.  We do it in half a page.  Sometimes we do it better.

Four hundred sixteen.  That’s all it takes to tell a story.  A scary story.  At least here.  Every tale of horror and suspense in this book is exactly 416 words long (you can spend your time counting or reading – that’s up to you).  Each story was written by a member of authonomy.com.

From arachnoids to zombies, 416 has it all.  You won’t believe what can fit into two pages.
